I keep thinking of odd sort of atheism.
Imagine an absurd cult, I mean: go make one up!
Gather some ridiculous beliefs it would have, create some nonsense claims it would have!
Since it's fake, freshly thought-up, unrelated to all others, it might be easier to hold such a belief system at arm's length and consider it, yes?
Might be fun thought experiment?
Hopefully I'm not going to step on anyone's toes, because there are no believers yet!
Consider, could it still be dangerous?

Understanding quasi-religious belief structures important, because these are everywhere now, and mostly weapons against us:
Current hulabaloo about AI data centers in orbit.
2 years ago, coworker with "Occupy Mars" Musk stan t-shirt.
Creepo 5th-gen-warfare fuckaloo, Mike Flynn, leading evangelicals in Elizabeth Clare Prophet's prayer.
Retired doctor babbling that Ivermectin cures the covid.
Each example sits inside weaponized belief structures, created and then planted like landmines.
